can rabbits have horse pellets

The day before, I was in dire straits, ran out of food for rabbits, and didn't have the opportunity to go out and buy more

 

This doesn't usually happen because I always have a lot of food in reserve, but I've been so busy lately that I didn't realize it was all gone

 

 

I have to give them something or they will starve, but I have no food for them

 

One thing that I have a lot of is hay for my horses - I wasn't sure it would be good for them so I decided to find out

 

?can rabbits eat horse pellets

 

Yes, rabbits can certainly eat hay for horses. Ideally, they should really eat something more suitable for small animals, such as timothy hay or pasture hay. But dry horses will work well in a pinch. Alfalfa hay can be too rich for larger rabbits, so watch out for that

 

Horse fodder can sometimes be eaten by rabbits when nothing else is available

 

 

You shouldn't be in the habit of feeding them hay, so after feeding them hay, remember to go out and buy something more suitable for them

 

Let's dig deeper

 

 

 

?Can I feed my rabbit hay

Yes, you can certainly feed your rabbit hay

 

Horse hay, like most hay, is a fairly simple food that is easily broken down by most herbivores

 

Horse fodder is available in much larger quantities at a much cheaper price than hay or rabbit food, so if you have both animals you will likely get plenty of horse fodder than rabbit food

 

However, you should not feed your rabbit with regular hay

 

If they have nothing else to eat, it is better than nothing, and they will enjoy it

 

This will also be perfectly safe for them - again, it's just hay. There's not much to do

 

 

Horses and rabbits are, of course, very different animals

 

Horse hay is usually very high in nutrients that rabbits don't need

 

So they can quickly become overwhelmed with nutrients if they eat too much horse hay, especially hay like alfalfa

 

So just give your rabbit some horse hay to get over them and try to get out for good rabbit food as soon as you can

 

I should also mention rabbits, which eat a variety of foods; they should also have fruits and vegetables. Not just horse hay

 

 

 

?What kind of hay can rabbits eat

Basically, yes, rabbits can eat any kind of hay

 

The most common type to feed rabbits, as I mentioned, is timothy hay or pasture hay

 

These are two very good options that don't contain too many nutrients to risk harm if your rabbit eats too much

 

Horse hay is a bit denser and richer in nutrients, but if it's just standard hay it shouldn't be a problem

 

Good alfalfa is really the only thing you need to avoid

 

If horse hay contains a lot of alfalfa, your rabbit will almost certainly have too much of the nutrient

 

 

This is even more true for older rabbits, but smaller rabbits are also likely to be affected

 

So alfalfa is the only thing you really need to avoid

 

 

 

?What kind of hay is harmful to rabbits

For adult rabbits, the only really unhealthy hay is, as I said, alfalfa

 

It is too high in protein for an adult and can cause a host of problems

 

Alfalfa hay is best avoided for rabbits of all ages

 

 

That said, growing rabbits can benefit from the extra protein in alfalfa hay

 

The growing young rabbits can certainly eat any kind of hay 

However, they are still capable of getting all the protein they need from common hay such as hay or hay

 

So there's really no need to feed them good alfalfa

 

?What about hay blocks

 

 

 

?Can rabbits eat horse hay

Solid or pelletized horse food is another option, and many people choose to feed their horses completely pellets instead of hay

 

Rabbits can certainly eat horse hay most of the time, but again you have to be wary of the nutrient and protein content

 

Since cubes are, in essence, more concentrated, you have to be careful with what they contain

 

Your rabbit can easily overeat equine pellets and get sick, so be careful

 

So in the end, you really shouldn't do what I did and try to always have the right food for your rabbit

 

 

If you are really stuck, horse hay is the perfect choice for your rabbit

But don't make it a habit and go out to feed your rabbit right away

 

In the event of an emergency, however, horse fodder still works well
